Holiday weeks are hard to do anything on – I totally understand. I’ve got a deadline to meet; otherwise, I’m not sure how productive I would have been.

A great way to spend your week is to plan ahead. We just started the third quarter and while some people might take a lot of time off during the third quarter…another option would be to plan for the fourth quarter because it is one of the biggest times to profit.

Watch what Gary V says about August. He normally uses the F word in his videos, but I didn’t notice him saying it during this video. It is very short – so if you have 3 minutes, you should watch it.

What does this mean?

Get those opt-ins created and set up, follow that up with a funnel and an email sequence for your list.

Plan ahead for your Black Friday and December sales. Get clear on what sales you’re going to have and then start to set up sales pages and create the promotional emails.

If you’ve got a blog that is seasonal – then start scheduling posts. This always works for the fall season because you’ve got back to school activities, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and then the New Year.

These might seem like a long time away, but the time will sneak up on you quicker than you realize.

Even if you’re not making money online (yet) – there are options. Grab the Mad Money Mugs training by Stuart Turnbull and start filling your mug shop full of mugs. Or take a look at the training to create journal’s at Createful Journal and create the journals to put in an Etsy store.

Great wake-up call to action. I completely missed black Friday and cyber Monday in the past. This year I plan to get something ready and now is a good planning day. Hot, going to hit 90 degrees in about an hour and I just do not feel like going out and about. So with the air on, pen and pad in hand, I will sit down and start planning. Great timing on the article, thanks for sharing.

Thanks Liz! I really appreciate it. For a long time I didn’t feel like I knew anything, but then I started realizing that I answer questions easily about working and running a business online and it finally dawned on me…I do know a thing or two. Haha.

Welcome To April Lemarr – My Online Adventures

Hi and Welcome! My name is April and I am the owner of this blog. I'm a single mom who spends my day homeschooling my son and working online creating products, finding resources and helping people create a life they love.

My goal for this blog is to help people believe in themselves enough to follow their dreams and then give them the steps, tools, resources and guidance to get it done.

I want you to know that if I can do it, so can you! I'm here to help you push past those barriers and show you that it can be done.

We use Amazon Freetime in our house. I like it because it gives me the ability to determine how many hours my son can spend on his Kindle, plus it also lets me pick what type of apps, videos and books he is able to see.
